Thermoquad tuning on 318

Took the carb off. Took off the top and it turns out the floats were significantly too low. Fixed that. Then I set the idle screw to where there was about 0.020" of transfer slot. Tightened down the pipe plug over the vacuum port which may have been causing a vacuum leak.

Very slight stumble when cold, but nothing like what I was experiencing before. Once it warmed up it was almost completely smooth. I think I will shorten the accelerator pump linkage a small amount to dial it in and possibly go another 1/4 turn on the idle speed screw. It should be good to go in that aspect.

The secondaries have about a 1/2 second bog when I stomp on it but catch right up if I keep my foot pinned. Easing into them at 60mph feels great and 90 comes up real quick. I've never driven a spread bore carb car and the sound...wow. I swear the hood buckles a little. I might try shortening the dashpot linkage a little––I am already 2.5 turns wound up on the spring. What about a vacuum restrictor? Heard old uncle tony talking about that, although I know better than to do what he says without asking other people first. He seems to get away with stuff most of us don't lol

Thanks for the help everyone
I would run a choke. I like the one from a 73 up truck since there is no electric heater. I'd be tightening up the secondary air valve 1/8 turn till the bog is gone. Pictures of the carb and choke side?
